Kingdom of GreatBritain and Immense resident of Melrose House;Bentmeadows, Rochdale, in the county ofLancaster, Eng land, haveinvented new and useful. Improvements in Spindles or Holders forConesfor Winding-Machines, of which the following is as 'iecification. I 7

' This'invention of improvementsi'in spindles or holders for the purposeof holding paper or other icones for machinery for r winding yarn,thread, cord, twine or the like relates to thespindles orholdershereinafter for convenience called holders which are provided withexpansible and contractible teeth or projections for engaging with theinterior surfaces of paper or other-[like cones placed upon them inorder to receive yar thread, cord, twine and, thelike to )be wound inwinding machines whether the winding is effected by the, holders being"ofholders constructed according to this invention 'are sho'wnby way ofexample and "in illustration of this invention, Figures 1,

mounted on or formed as parts of revolving spindles, mandrelsor the likeor byflthe surfaces of paper or other cones on the holders or yarn,thread, cord, twine or the like wound upon such cones being applied tothe surfacesof revolving drums, rollers or belts or other revolvingsurfaces and whether the securing and release of paper or other conesapplied to the holders are effected by the holders or mandrels, spindlesor shafts on which they are formed or mounted being turned about ends orparts so that cam surfaces are brought into'or put out of action toeffect or allow movement of the engaging devices or by means of handle'sor levers or other devices provided for moving the engaging devices intoor out of engagement with the paper or'othe'r cones.

This invention consists in holders for the said purpose and devices foruse therein which are or render holders in which they are applied moreefficient than the holders heretofore provided have been in holding apaper or other cones firmly in position when l Speeifiction of t eIntent!

' placed thereon andcontinuing to hold them firmly even though byexpansion or by deformation the paper or other cones in the partsengaged withthe holding devices provlded'in or on theholders' shouldmove a away from the axes of the holders after "beingappli'edthereto andwhich obviate the disadvantage-common in some holders heretoforeconstructed that the parts provided to engage paper or other cones tendto push them axially off the holders in passing into or keeping inengagement-with them.

7 According to this invention holders for the purpose aforesaid" withengaging-parts "for engaging thepaper or other cones to be appliedto'theholders are p'rovidedwith resilient engaging means preventingengaging parts which indmoving or being moved outward from the .axesofthe holders to engage or to keep inengageme'nt with paper or other conesmove also'axially of the holders in the direction from the pointsornarrow ends to the bases or wider parts of-the paper or other conesappliedto the holders and thus the engaging parts are made to pull thepaper or other cones more firmly on to the holders in passing or keeplngin engagement with them.

As in a inthe direction indicated by the arrow and its expansion Wlll. be-limitedby the paper or other cone 6 and so should the paper or other cone 6yield or expand in use the collara will be moved farther in thedirection indicated by the arrow C and so be further expanded and madeagain to engage closely the paper or other cone b and to keep it drawnclosely on to 'the tapered 'part'i of the sleeve 9" such movement of thecollar a into engagement with the paper or other cone 6 beingaccompanied by further movement in the direction indicated by the arrowC in which the paperor other cone 7) is applied to theholder. By theholder be- -ing turned again into the position in which it is shown inFig. 8 the ribs 6 of the collar a are withdrawn from the paper or othercone 6 so that it maybe removed easily from the holder. H j

The ridges c are one illustrative form of engaging parts and these maybe made different from those shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 withoutdeparture from this invention.

In theholder illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6 the sleeve 9 is mounted andheld in position axially on a "shaft h similarly to the sleeve gshown inFigs. 1, 2', 3 and 4 formed at one end with a tapered part i of a tapercorresponding to the'taper of the interior ofa tapered or otheroone 6near the smallest part thereof and is also formed at the other endwith atapered part y of a taper correiently sponding to the taper of theinterior of a paper or other cone 6 near the largest part thereof andformed hollow and carried by a web or flange a.

Spring arms 1 which extend in the direction from the baseto the tip of acone 1) applied to the holder are shapedso that the parts 2 nearer theirbases are inclined 'outward from the axis'of the holderand the parts 3nearer their tips are inclined toward the axis of the holder andfurnished with points 4 inclined in the direction from the smaller tothe larger parts of the tapered parts i-and 3 The springs l'mayconvenform as shown arms extending through the webs "from a ring 5madeto encircle, withouttouching, the shafthp The ring 5 is securedinposition by being placed between the sleeve 9 and. acollar on the shafth. The parts S of the springs lwh-ich are inclined toward the axis ofthe holder are preferably shaped so that when allowed to expand intoengagement with a cone 7) "applied to the holder they shall be parallelorapproximately parallel to the parts of the coneb which are nearest tothem. As shown ,hOlGS in the web a of the tapered collar 1 being appliedto the holder the paper. or other cone *6 is firmly pressed on to thetapered collar a the movement of the collar In order that the springs 1may be withdrawn from their expanded position a compressing'device,shown for example, as comprising a collar 6 with arms 7 which extendthrough the web a and are formed with inwardly directed inclined faceson the inner sides to be made to bear on the outwardly inclined parts2of thesprings 1 by the collar Gbe'ing moved on the shaft 72. in thedirection opposite-to thatindicated by the arrow G by means ofthe cams'1) formed on the part a by which the shaft h is carried.

' When a paper orother cone 7) is to be applied to the holder shown inFigs. 5 and 6 the holder is placed in the position in which it'is shownin Fig 6 by the shaft h being turned about the pivot t. The turning, ofthe shaft it into the position in which it is shown in Fig. 6 causes thecollar 6 to be acted upon by the: cams 'v and forcedin the directionopposite to that indicated by the sothatfthe collar 6 being-moved backover.

and withdrawn from contact with the cams 1 in the direction indicated bythe arrow G and the springs 1 then expand so that theirpoints 4E engagethe paper or other cone 1). 'In engaging the paper or other cone 6 thepoints 4 moving in some measure in the-direction indicated by the arrow0 will draw the cone 1) farther in the direction indicated by the'arrowC and more firmly on to the tapered parts i y and as in being applied tothe holder the paper or other cone 1; is firmly pressed on to thetapered 'parts i g of the sleeve 9 the expansion of the springs 1 willbe limited by the paper or other cone 6 and so should the paper orother. cone 1) yield or expand in use the springs 1 will expand furtherand'keep c loselyfin' engagement with the cone 6 and keep drawn tight onto the tapered parts i 1 of the sleeve'g. By the holder being turnedagain into the position in which it 'is shown-in Fig. 6,' the points 4of the springs 1 are withdrawn from the paper or other cone bso that itmay be removed easily from the holder.

-41 can be forced bythe parts 2 of the springs 45 7 shown in Fig. 7 andin full lines in Fig. 9

Details in the construction may be made 'difl 'erent-from those shown inFigs.- 5 and eg-without departure from this invention A holder 01 thisform may cen eniently be provided with fear springs to engage paper orother cones but one Su'C'hspring or two or more may be employed asmay"be desirable in any case, the' compressing device being made tocorrespond with the spring or springs employed.

In any case inwhi'ch it is not desirable to a cam or curved surfaceorincline brought-into action by the movement of the axle or pivot formoving the" taper ring or collar orcomprcssing device or any equivalenttherefor employed in a-holder' otE either of the forms providedaccording to this invention, or in which the aids or pivot is notmovable for disengaging cones applied to the holder,- any suitable meansfor eX-- ampl'ea lever or'slide or collar moved in any convenient mannermay be used for moving such tapered ring or collar or compressing deviceore'quivalent either" in one direction orjin both directions as may bedesirable.

As illustration of these modifications of lar n and the support 9 thereis mounted on the shaft 8 a hand lever 10 provided with spiral surfaces11' presented to corresp'ondf- =in'g spiral surfaces 12 termed on thesupport 9. Int-he usual position of rcs't the' hand lever 10 remainswith the most prominent parts of the spiral surfaces 11 against the mostdeeply recessed parts of the spiral surfaces 12 of the support 9' and iswholly or nearly out of contact-with the collar n.

By the hand lever 10 being turned around the shaft 8 from theposition'in which it is to the position in which it is shown in Fig. 8and indicated in dotted lines in Fig 9 the collar a may be moved alongthe shaft 8 in opposition to the force of the spring at in order thatthe tapered split collar (1 may be moved toward the smaller end of thetapered part f and allowed to contract to release the cone 5." When acone 6 is applled to the holder and is to be secured upon the holderthe'hand lever 10 is moved or allowed to move back from the position inwhich it is shown in Fig. 8 and indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 9 tothe position in which it is shown in Fig. 7 i and indicated by fulllines in Fig. 9 and then the spring m forcing back the collar 42 drawsthe collar ct toward the larger endof the tapered part and causes it toengagethe c'one b as in the case of the holder shown in Figs; 1; 2, 3and 4%.
